The Feds are at it again. New regulations will require chain fast food restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc. to list the calories in their offerings. The Nanny State is “looking out for” us. I guess they feel that we are not capable of making any decisions without their help.
They seem to feel that if we just knew how many calories were in that cheeseburger we would choose to eat a salad instead. So they will force all of these various retailers to list the calories of their various offerings. Of course these listings don’t just happen. Someone has to calculate the calories of all these various things then signs have to be designed and printed and put up. None of these things happen for free. Each and every one of them costs money. And guess what. These companies will pass the cost on to you. So when you have to pay that extra nickel for your french fries, you can thank your Obama led pack of do-gooders. Ninety percent of which have never had anything to do with actually running a business, and thus don’t understand that when they make their various intrusive rulings that they are impacting the end users as much as the “evil” companies they are trying to punish.
They also seem to think that giving us this knowledge will change our behavior, as if we didn’t realize that a salad was less likely to make us fat than a cheeseburger and fries. How effing STUPID can these meddling government a$$holes be? Of course we knew the cheeseburger was less healthy than the salad! WE DIDN’T CARE! Your forcing the stores to put signs on them is going to do nothing but increase the cost to us and create more useless government jobs for more people to go out and check to make sure that companies are following these overbearing and intrusive rules.
Attention Big Government: Get Out Of My Personal LIfe, Get Out Of My Wallet, And Do What A Government Should Be Doing!
Protect My Life, My Property And My Wealth From Being Taken From Me
By Force Or Fraud!
That’s pretty much it for what the government should be doing. It is not their place to socially engineer what happens in the society.
As adults we should make our own decisions and live with the consequences of our actions. If I make a stupid decision, eat to much, get fat and die of a heart attack, to bad, so sad for me. The government need not be involved. If I make good decisions and earn lots of money, good for me, I get to enjoy the fruits of my good decision making. The government need not be involved. PERIOD END!
